the best part of our lives. things that weren't costing money to do, you would go to a picnic on the beach or you would do something in the woods. my favorite of all is in the staircase. it's almost a miracle masterpiece how he could manage to not only fit everyone, of course, a lot of them i recognized from my childhood -- it's how he juxtaposed and managed to kind of climb up that stairway on either side very much like you are walking down a street. it was incredible to do that and to me, that is what depicted the life of the times in san francisco. i even like the ones that show the industrial areas, the once with the workers showing them in the cannery and i can remember going in there and seeing these women with the caps, with the nets shuffling these cans through. my parents had a ranch in santa rosa and we went there all summer. i could see these people leaning over and checking. it looked exactly like the beautiful things about the ranch. i think he was pretty much in the never look back philosophy about the coit. i don't think he ever went to visit again after we moved from telegr

[applause] >> good morning everybody. so i haven't been able to let it go either. so yesterday our city celebrated a huge victory in the world of sports; right. and today we're celebrating another victory and for the waterfront, for nature and you can feel it. yesterday after the noise and the craziness --

people to make reservations at the barbecue pit or at that picnic table. these are three of hundreds of ideas that i have heard over the last few years. my guess is you in your heads have the solutions to them today. and mayor lee and i are looking forward with this legislation with all of you to figuring out how to make our city government the best 21st century city government that we have in the entire world. so, thank you for being here, and it is my pleasure to introduce our mayor's budget director kate howard who in addition to helping to balance multi-billion dollar budgets every year, she will tell you about our plans around our chief data officer. thank you so much for being here. (applause) >> good morning, everyone. i'm kate howard. i'm the mayor's budget director. i'm here to just to talk briefly about the really exciting opportunity that i think is going to be coming up in the city, which is announcement of our new chief data officer. some people may think that the budget office is mostly being countered, but really our office is focused on how do we make government more

understand that life up here is no picnic. we're barely making do. (laughter) my book of mormon seats tonight? obstructed view. (laughter) >> all i've had to drink today is urine.

(laughter) but also the m.t.a., power companies, phone companies, public officials, we thank you all tonight in our brand new segment "a daily show tribute to institutional competence." (cheers and applause) it's amazing! amazing! once you remove political and partisan gamesmanship from a situation performance improves dramatically. down the line government's been on top of its stuff, we'll start with n.y.c. mayor michael

parking. what does require parking is the new picnic areas that do not have any accessibility, despite the violation of ada and local laws. i think this needs further review and i ask you to please deny this permit or at least give those people interested in this, the 120 people who signed the petition of about saving the trees that the park, rather than taking them down in order to put in a maintenance shed. please, give us some time and give us some records so we can show you exactly what is going on here. >> thank you, miss hobson. >> i am going respond to a couple of new issues that were raised. i just wanted to respond to the discussion about historian rand richards. we certainly expect mr. richards as a historian and he is well-versed in the history of san francisco, but he not an archaeologist. i don't ask for his opinion as a final determination on the presence of archaeological resources at the site. though i find him to be a very reliable and good source of history of the park. and so we have consulted him on many occasions. and respect his opinion. i did want to say that i

. >> or out at a picnic today. it's gorgeous outside all around the bay area. enjoy it things going to be changing rapidly now as we head into the next couple of days. but a little hazy sunshine out over the bay. we are looking good as we sail into the afternoon. lots of sunshine for everyone even out toward the coastline and these temperatures again heating up in a hurry. it's 78 degrees in san jose already. 78 in livermore. 74 degrees in san francisco. and 74 degrees in concord. looking toward the coastline, still clear of fog. that will likely change though toward tomorrow. so sunshine, near record temperatures maybe a couple of records out there, and then tonight mostly clear in the valleys but looks like some patchy coastal fog will begin to develop and major changes the next couple of days. so high pressure holding on for one last day. you can already see this trough in the gulf of alaska. eventually that works its way in our direction but at least one more day of sunshine and maybe a couple of records, as well. if we hit that we could hit a couple of spots especially looking

for parks and facilities and browse for events and volunteering and reserving a picnic area and donating more easier. you can research 45 pieces of public art located in golden gate park. we are grateful to our partner in this. they did this as a national demonstration project and used our agency as the model, and further stages of further development of this app will allow people to interface with three one one so they could log issues and concerns that they see in our parks and we will eventually enable people to purchase tickets online or using the mobile phone and we are thankful to them for that and you can go to our website and download the app. it's very easy, just one click and we think park users will enjoy it a great deal. so we have two certificates and i am keeping my eye on the clock for the magic 1018. first we have betty trainer and a champion of one of the city parks located in the heart of a challenging neighborhood in district six, boeddeker park. betty is a tireless advocate for bo decker and for boeddeker park and organized efforts for clean up days for the comm
